The History of Recipes
We can track the history of `recipes` back into distant history, at least as far back into history as the ancient Egyptians, and quite possibly further than that. Interesting though that is, generally, these old records were just very basic pictorial recipes for meal preparation.
In fact, the oldest recipe in existence, according to experts is a collection of tablets in ancient Sumerian which describe the baking of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making people feel blissful and exhilarated. Later on, in Roman times around 25BC a man called Apicius compiled a number of scripts describing recipes prepared by wealthy Romans. In his scrolls, he tells us how the meals of wealthy Romans were split into appetizers, main meal and desserts, a style of dining still practiced today. This early Roman chef informs us how the Roman chefs used many spices, including a few that are still present in modern kitchens for example basil, rue and parsley. For the next few years, the wealthy families of Wesstern Europe competed with each other to offer the most exotic banquets, and as a consequence, the best cooks and their collection of recipes became highly prized. However, it was during the 19th century the formal cooking and recipe collections became popular. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, devoted their lives to collating, testing, and recording recipes common in their social group. The introduction of the TV brought us TV cookery programs and the accompanying recipe books. Which pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, allowing us all to access thousands of recipes like the ones you can find on this recipe site. |
